- Avoiding direct contact with hard surfaces to preserve sharpness and finish.

Behind the Blade

Every katana we offer carries the essence of centuries-old craftsmanship.

More than just a weapon, the katana symbolizes discipline, honor, and mastery.

Our artisans draw inspiration from traditional forging methods to ensure each blade reflects the spirit of the samurai - strength, precision, and soul.

Owning one is not just about aesthetics - it’s about carrying a piece of that legacy.

User Experience

This katana is designed to offer a perfect balance between blade and handle.

Its ergonomic tsuka (handle) allows a secure two-handed grip, while the weight distribution ensures smooth, fluid movement.

Sold for collection and display. Handle carefully when placing on a stand or carrying out maintenance.

1095 steel / blue blade and saya / Azure Spirit

Azure Spirit Blue Katana in 1095 Carbon Steel

The blade and saya of Azure Spirit share a clear metallic blue, set against a black handle and dark openwork guard. Look closer at the blade and a bo-hi groove runs beside a subtle hamon. Its appeal is in that combination of color and quieter blade details, with a brass collar providing a small warm accent.

The blade

1095 steel, a bo-hi groove and a hamon

Azure Spirit lists 1095 carbon steel with a genuine clay-tempered hamon. The blue finish leaves that line more subtle than it appears on a plain polished blade. A bo-hi groove runs along the steel as a separate feature. The blade is sharpened and full tang, with a 72 cm length. No measured hardness is supplied for this particular sword.

The fittings

A blue saya with a black cotton handle

Black cotton wraps over black synthetic rayskin, leaving the brighter color to the blade and glossy blue wooden saya. The iron tsuba uses an openwork pattern with dark curved shapes around the blade collar. A black cord ties around the saya. The restrained handle makes it easier to see the blue finish and the small details in the steel.

Compare 1095 and 1060 through the actual models

A steel number alone does not establish the quality of a finished blade. Azure Spirit combines its 1095 specification with listed clay tempering and a groove. Hekinan uses 1060 steel with white wave decoration, while Blue Blade uses a different blue finish. Our katana steel guide explains the grades without treating color as a material.

In your collection

Keep the matching blue surfaces together

The katana comes with its blue saya and an ornate display stand. Placing the saya beside a securely displayed blade shows how the two finishes relate, while the black handle keeps the arrangement simple. Allow space for the 105 cm overall length.

Caring for your Azure Spirit katana

Keep the blade dry and follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above. A colored finish still needs careful handling. Avoid abrasive polish on the blue surfaces, use a soft cloth around the groove and guard, and keep oil off the black cotton and synthetic rayskin.

Azure Spirit katana questions

What steel is the Azure Spirit blade made from?

It is listed as 1095 carbon steel with a blue finish. The finish describes the surface color; 1095 describes the blade steel.

Is the hamon clay-tempered?

Yes. Azure Spirit is listed with a genuine clay-tempered hamon. It appears as a subtle line beneath the blue finish in the close-up photos.

What is the groove on the blade?

It is a bo-hi, a longitudinal groove in the blade. It is separate from the hamon, which is the line associated with the listed heat treatment.

Is 1095 automatically better than 1060?

The finished blade depends on its construction and heat treatment as well as the grade. Compare the complete model specifications rather than assuming a higher number guarantees better performance.

Is the saya the same color as the blade?

Both use an azure-blue finish, although reflections and lighting can make the shade look different. The handle, guard and cord stay dark.

Is the rayskin genuine?

No. The black cotton handle is wrapped over black synthetic rayskin. This material is listed separately from the steel and heat treatment.

Is Azure Spirit sharp?

Yes. It is sharpened and full tang. It is sold for collection and display, with careful handling needed around the edge during setup and maintenance.

What are its dimensions, and is a stand included?

Overall length is 105 cm, with a 72 cm blade and a 30 cm handle. The matching saya and an ornate display stand are included.

Good sword, small issue on arrival

Saya mouth was slightly loose when I got it, fitting tape sorted it. Balance is great though. People at my dojo always ask about it.

Way better than I expected

Hamon is clean, handle wrap tight, saya closes solid. Came in a wooden box. No complaints at all for the price.

Nice blade but took 2 weeks to arrive

Damascus looks great. Shipping to Portland took forever and tracking was dead for a week. Quality is there, logistics need work.
